Did George Zimmerman Steal The Concept for His Painting From a Stock Image?

Friday, December 20, 2013

Someone is ready to splash out serious cash for an “original hand painting” by unemployed nightwatchman George Zimmerman. Zimmerman is auctioning his painting on eBay.com to raise cash to pay off his mounting debts. With one day left in the auction, the bidding has reached $100,099.99. But a sharp-eyedNew York mag writer says the waving image in Zimmerman’s painting was stolen from a popular Internet stock image.

NY Mag writer Joe Coscarelli wrote: “The patriotic work appears to be copied directly, if not ripped off completely, from a generic stock image.”

An anonymous Wonkette reader went a step further by overlaying Zimmerman’s painting over the stock image to compare the similarities in the two images.

A NYMag.com reader suggested Zimmerman “appropriated” the original stock image just as Andy Warhol and other artists have done.

But in his own words on the eBay auction page, Zimmerman wrote:

“The paint was donated to me by a great friend (J.S.), as far as I know it is regular household latex paint. I know its not the fanciest, but it is what we had and I needed to put these visions onto the blank canvas as soon as possible.”

“Blank canvas” implies that Zimmerman started his painting from scratch — which means he did not use the stock image as inspiration.

No one should be surprised at this latest revelation. Zimmerman is a known pathological liar.

With the new year approaching can we PLEASE stop talking about him unless he is finally LOCKED AWAY.

Can I let out my “ghetto” side for a minute?

Ghetto Side: I really want to fuck this n***** up for real. He mocks God and the justice system ever chance he gets. He is a cold-blooded killer. I hope Trayvon did in fact whip his punk a** before he was murdered.

Symantics. If he painted it he painted it. It doesn’t matter where he got the inspiration. It is a flag afterall. My biggest concern is that the highest bid is hopefully coming from someone who has no intention to pay. That’s all I want.

That painting is sooo disrespectful it’s almost like he’s mocking the Martin family..

Fat Fu*K Shyt go do something like jump off a bridge or mistakenly shoot yourself in the face while cleaning your gun. Thats the news I want to hear about on his porky ass.

There’s not much value to it if he has “borrowed” the image from another. Him implying that he was getting his visions out, is not really getting his vision out if he got from another

He is mocking God for sure. He is demented. He will get his in the end. I am not even waiting for it because it might not be for me to see. But I know it will happen

Coloring gray is tricky…Both my parents grayed early so at 35 I have a nice bit and I color it. One color I really liked didn’t cover the gray well so I just go with a dark brown and it last a little longer but man…..it’s a battle.
